Not Unwilling, But Unable

Tsunade's worries were not unfounded.

Currently, Uchiha Yue's Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand Style technique is practically the nemesis of the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist, or even the entire Hyuga Clan. If the Hyuga Clan members knew that Uchiha Yue possessed such a secret technique that could counter them, then Uchiha Yue would be making an enemy of the entire Hyuga Clan. At that time, as a member of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Yue would face even more exclusion from the Hyuga Clan, and might even be targeted and assassinated by the entire Hyuga Clan.

Therefore, after seeing that Uchiha Yue had mastered this secret technique that perfectly countered Gentle Fist, Tsunade secretly began to consider how she would protect Uchiha Yue in the future.

However, Uchiha Yue, who was currently Hyuga Hiashi, showed no sign of worry whatsoever.

At this moment, Uchiha Yue was enjoying the thrill of using the Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand at full power, torturing the current head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hiashi, in front of him!

"Bang..."

With another Falling Moon Style: Strong Fist Scattering Hand, Uchiha Yue easily shattered Hyuga Hiashi's prepared attack, even knocking the elite Jonin -level ninja back three steps. Then, using Falling Hyuga Hiashi Falling Moon Style: Shatter Steps, Uchiha Yue stepped even closer to Hyuga Hiashi. Seeing Hyuga Hiashi riddled with openings, Uchiha Yue suddenly changed his fist into a palm, unleashing the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand!

"Thump..."

"Thump..."

The Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand naturally lacks the power of the Falling Moon Style: Strong Fist Scattering Hand Technique.

However, if we compare the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand with the Falling Moon Style: Strong Fist Scattering Hand, even Uchiha Yue, the creator of the Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand, felt that the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand was stronger. This is because when Uchiha Yue the Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand, he intended to use the Falling Moon Style: Strong Fist Scattering Hand as a technique to defeat enemies. As for the Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand, it is stronger than the Falling Moon Style: Strong Fist Scattering Hand in both single-target attack and continuous attack.

Just like now, Uchiha Yue had just reached Falling Moon Style: Shatter Step Hiashi with his Hyuga Hiashi Style Steps. After landing the first Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand on Hyuga Hiashi, the pressure point was struck, and Hyuga Hiashi froze, completely unable to dodge Uchiha Yue's next attack. Then, Uchiha Yue used Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand repeatedly to strike the frozen Hyuga Hiashi.

After a full sixty-four moves, all of Hyuga Hiashi's meridians had been sealed by Uchiha Yue's Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand.

Having lost the ability to use Chakra, Hyuga Hiashi can no longer even use the Byakugan, let alone his proud Gentle Fist.

However, the Falling Moon Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand that Uchiha Yue displayed at this time was not its strongest form. Out of respect for Uchiha Yue, a ninja of Hyuga Hiashi and the head of the Hyuga Clan Konoha, Uchiha Tsukuyomi did not unleash the full power of the Falling Moon Style: Scattering Hand. Otherwise, Uchiha Yue only needed to concentrate Wind Style Chakra in his hands with each attack to completely sever Hyuga Hiashi's meridians and acupoints, directly crippling Hyuga Hiashi.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Uchiha Yue still managed to defeat Hyuga Hiashi.

In particular, Uchiha Yue's final Falling Moon Style: Gentle Fist Scattering Hand directly knocked Hyuga Hiashi to the ground, causing him to vomit blood. He gloriously dealt with Hyuga Hiashi, who had previously provoked him.

Moreover, even as Uchiha Yue Hyuga Hiashi to the ground, spitting blood, he didn't forget to mock Hyuga Hiashi, speaking in a detached Hyuga Hiashi: "Hyuga Hiashi, do you think you're worthy of escorting me back? The dignified head of the Hyuga Clan, yet your Gentle Fist technique isn't even as strong as mine. I truly feel ashamed for the Hyuga Clan. However, you, Hyuga Hiashi, are still the head of the Hyuga Clan. Remember to keep your word, understand? Don't forget, wherever I, Uchiha Yue, appear, the Hyuga Clan must give way!"

With that, Uchiha Yue ignored Hyuga Hiashi's resentful gaze and turned to Uchiha Fugaku beside Hyuga Hiashi, saying, "Fugaku- kun, can we go back now?"

"Of course, Moon Lord."

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Uchiha Fugaku wore a smug smile, not forgetting to mock Hyuga Hiashi as he left before taking Uchiha Yue with him. Defeated by Uchiha Yue, Hyuga Hiashi could only lie on the ground like a stray dog, watching those who had originally attended the meeting walk past him one by one, disappearing from his sight. Only when the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzō were completely out of sight did Hyuga Hiashi clench his fists in anger, his eyes blazing with hatred, thinking, "Uchiha Yue, Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga Hiashi I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"

With this thought in mind, Hyuga Hiashi slowly stood up, also not intending to linger there.

Only...

Before Hyuga Hiashi glanced at the Anbu who had been defeated by Uchiha Yue, and a cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.

On the other hand, as Uchiha Yue continued carrying the crystal coffin back to the Uchiha Clan's residence with Uchiha Fugaku, countless elite Uchiha Clan ninjas lined both sides of the road to welcome him back. However, when these elite Uchiha Clan ninjas saw that Uchiha Yue was carrying an Uchiha Clan coffin on his back, their initially excited expressions all turned serious.

Clearly, the reason these Uchiha Clan ninjas were able to understand Uchiha Yue's feelings and change their expressions was entirely due to Uchiha Yue's elevated status within the Uchiha Clan.

However, as Uchiha Yue carried the crystal coffin back to the Uchiha Clan's residence, he didn't observe the expressions of the elite Uchiha Clan ninjas. At this moment, Uchiha Yue expressionless, carrying the crystal coffin on his back, walking step by step back to his home within the Uchiha Clan compound. At the same time, when Uchiha Yue returned home with the crystal coffin, the current Uchiha Clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Yue's friends such as Tsunade Minato Namikaze all arrived at Uchiha Yue's residence.

Immediately afterwards...

Just as Uchiha Yue returned home and put down the crystal coffin, Uchiha Yue Uchiha Fugaku asked him, "Tsuki-kun, I have a question I don't understand. Why did you insist on using Gentle Fist to defeat Hyuga Hiashi when you fought him? Why didn't you let Hyuga Hiashi witness the power of the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's question, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others all wore puzzled expressions.

Clearly, they shared the same confusion and wanted to ask Uchiha Yue.

But...

To the utter surprise of Uchiha Fugaku, Tsunade, and the others, a bitter smile appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips after hearing Uchiha Fugaku's question.

Immediately, the crowd awaiting the answer saw Uchiha Yue slowly open his eyes and say, "It's not that I don't want to use the Mangekyō Sharingan, but that I can no longer use Mangekyō Sharingan!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, he opened his eyes...

Then, a pair of deathly pale pupils appeared in the sight of everyone present!
